Why are Israelis so damn happy?

Don't Worry, Be Israeli...

There is a lot of truth to this.  Israelis do tend to live well, in living in the moment.  Not in a reckless way, but in a simple straight forward enjoying life way.  Life there is tough (at least compared to North America).  People work hard, generally live frugally, but seem to enjoy themselves.  And they do live fearlessly.  Spoiled Long Island and California Jewish American Princesses are definitely not the reality of Israel.

And then you have one of the most miserable group of people living right next to them.  Palestinians are dour people.  Palestinians have a shroud of perpetual victimhood.  They are also trapped between their own sociopathic and kleptocratic leaders (Hamas and Fatah) and the Israelis.

Update:
Oh BTW--Happy 65th Birthday!
Palestinians can be counted upon to make the wrong decision for their interests every time!
